Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
I received my D.V.M with honors, from the UC Davis in 2013. Prior to veterinary school I was a biology lecturer at San Diego State University. I am interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, especially dermatology and surgery. I was born and raised in Sacramento, only 3 miles from Arden Animal Hospital!
Growing up my life always involved animals, from finding lost dogs (even some that weren't), to participating in a World Championship Vaulting competition held in Vienna Austria. Today I pride myself in helping the Arden Animal Hospital team achieve lasting client relationships with personalized care and client education.
We are Grant and Heather Kendall, and we are honored to carry on the traditions and values of our father, Tom Kendall, DVM. Our dad joined Arden Animal Hospital is 1972 and purchased the clinic in 1979 where he spent over 40 years practicing veterinary medicine. When he became ill with pancreatic cancer in late 2014, as a family, we decided it was important for us to continue his legacy to ensure that Arden Animal Hospital continues to grow and serve our Sacramento community.Our father taught us important life lessons that have not only shaped our personal values, but are also the cornerstone of Arden Animal Hospital.

When the pandemic hit it became very difficult to get an appointment at the vet I had been going to for over 10 years. In a moment of emergency my vet declined to help when I felt my pet needed them most, but Arden Animal Hospital made the greatest effort to get us seen and tended to in the best way possible. They are the best. Always friendly, informative and there when they are needed most. I now take all of my pets (three dogs and a cat) to AAH.

We had to switch from another vet to here. I was very happy to gave made a great choice. It us very hard to chsnge vets after more than 20 years with the same vet and multiple pets. We are very happy to have made the change to this hospital. So far everyone is friendly, attentive and caring. They are very busy, which is both good and bad. But they seem to do a very good job keeping the appts. Organized, the shots on time and have a great system to keep you up to date via email, or massaging. We are very pleased to have them taking care of our 3 dogs 2 of which are over 16 yrs old.

I can't recommend them enough. My dog has a lot of anxiety when it comes to vet appointments, so I know he is a pain to deal with. Even with that they treat both of us with such compassion. I am always confident that he's being well cared for and that they are doing everything they can to help him. I really appreciate that the vets call you and explain absolutely everything they found so you can make the best educated decisions and I have never felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to do.
The only downside is that it is a little pricey, but since most vet bills are I find their prices reasonable. I know it's not a luxury everyone can afford but I would rather pay a little more to take my pets here because I know they will be in the best hands. Thank you for all that you do!

Prepare to pay. They're good, but they want to put your cat on a special diet, that you can only buy there-- believe me this is so common there. They added flea treatment without asking, save yourself 40 dollars and but it on Amazon, or chewy, pet friendly; I already had a 3 months supply. Nice people, but they want your money, and they know you'll pay as it's your special animal.

Called the office today to inquire about an appointment for a health certificate for my dog so she can fly home to me in another state. I was told their was an appt available next week, but was then put on hold so something could be checked. Another receptionist got on the line and told me that there were actually no appointments available and that those appointments were booked out.
It appears that simply because my dog was a new patient, they would not see her even though an appt time was open. And it also makes no sense that health certificate appts would be booked out for weeks or months as they HAVE to be done within 10 days of flight. As a professional dog breeder, and someone who spends hundreds of hours per year at veterinarian offices, I would not suggest anyone taking their beloved animal to an office would conduct themselves in this manner.

I had to cancel my holiday plans because my dog came down with a skin condition and could not leave him with friends who would dog sit him. I called my vet and they would not be able to see me until March (not cool). I called around for the earliest availability and this vet could see me mid-January. Not ideal but better than March. On Christmas eve they contacted me saying they had a cancellation for 9am Monday and I took it.
They are a small facility with a small parking lot so large trucks will struggle parking. You can phone in your check in and they had me in the exam room with Dr. Benedetto in minutes. She handled my grumpy Corgi very well. She diagnosed his condition and put me at ease. They will go over your options and estimate pressure free and their rates are reasonable. I look forward to seeing them again for my dog's veterinary needs.

I came to Arden Animal Hospital when my dog was clearly sick and our old vet could not see for 2 weeks. Can you imagine? Well, we stayed with AAH! They are always so sweet and accomadating to my GSD, he loves people, but not other dog (rescue PTSD). The staff is always helpful, and respectful of my budget. We have only been there during COVID times, so I cannot review the office itself.
But the appointments always go well, Dr. calls and takes there time, and tech visits are super quick. Yes, they are a bit more than our old vet or others in the area, but well worth the extra $$'s.

Dr. Miller was awesome! Great experience! She had to poke him with a needle on his ear to get a sample of what was inside the bump he had. It was no threat to his health! Very relieved! She told us that our little boy was so good that she put a Gold Star on his head! See the joyous moment in the Photos!

What can I say, Arden Animal Hospital is the best. The Veterinarians and staff are amazing. The lobby is very inviting and calm. They genuinely care about you and your furbaby. Dr Tobey is compassionate and helped me through a difficult time with my almost 21 year old kitty, Dexter. I would highly recommend Arden Animal Hospital to anyone.

I've taken my dogs here for their checkup and flea med prescription. I had a very good experience. Front desk reception was courteous and the doctor was professional and in good spirits. Unfortunately, recently I had an ill feline. I attempted to book an appointment but was notified that they are booked for the next 3 weeks. Luckily, the feline just had what appears to have been a viris and she's all better now. They did provide me with contact numbers for an alternative and an emergency care location.

I have been bringing my dogs and cats to AAH for years. The doctors and staff have displayed what feels like genuine care/concern and professionalism, not only to me but my animal family as well. I have never doubted that my pets were in good hands and that treatment recommendations were in their best interest. I also appreciate the follow up phone calls after procedures to check in on how my pet was doing. I have no reservations in recommending AAH to other pet owners!

The visit was delightful as always. The only way my experience could have been better is if it was free. Hahahahaha The doctor and staff are kind, loving and really care about my dog. My dog is little so her vaccine made her very tired. The doctor called me to followup and see how she was doing the days after. My dogs always get great care from the doctors and staff at Arden Animal Hospital.

Our new puppy has round worms and they were very quick to get us in and help our pup. Dr. Tobey helped us today and I am so pleased with the communication and the outcome. With covid, I thought it would make it way more difficult to get our puppy help but it was so easy here. Even over a phone call with the doctor, she made sure not to leave anything out as if we were in person talking. I will definitely be bringing our pup and cats here from now on.

They take such good care of my kitties! While it isn't cheap, I do find it's the highest standard of care I have ever experienced at a vet. I also never feel like they are trying to upsell me on any procedures that aren't needed, but they are very thorough in their recommendations. Can't recommend them highly enough! thank you! from Whide (rip), Olive, Captain, and Beans!
